Very well executed

Brilliant and touching

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The Drop Box was released on March 3, 2015 by Brian Ivie. Ivie is documenting Pastor Lee's every move that has to do with his drop box. The drop box is defined as," a warm bin, lodged in a wall, that allows mothers to deposit their children without being seen"(Ivie 2016). Pastor Lee is seen as the last hope to various numbers of lives. This documentary gives viewers an insight on why that is and what the drop box truly means. Child abandonment is an act that is highly seen in many impoverished countries. Numerous of people are witnesses to it but decide to do nothing about it. Ivie created this documentary to give an insight of how it is seen as a part of everyday life. A handful of kids that are dropped off are seen to have disabilities. This being said, it is clear to say that it is very inhuman. This documentary is meant to send a meaningful and emotional message to all viewers. Pastor Lee and his wife were very aware of the high rate in child abandonment going on in their country, and felt that they had to do something about it. They began to adopt many children that had disabilities to start their journey of a new world. Pastor Lee also wanted to bring it into light for the whole world to see, and that is why he started the drop box at his church. Once they started, their expectations were low of it actually working and starting a movement in their community. Their expectations took a twist after seeing its results within the year, and many babies were saved from abandonment because of their impact of starting the drop box. It was the sanctuary of hope for babies. This film captured the essence of its significance in a way that can be seen as impactful. Ivie began the film by presenting the influential people of this film running to the drop box. That was to give viewers the adrenaline rush to find out why they were running hysterically. In the background you can hear this alarm like noise, which meant that there was a new baby dropped off in the box. Once Pastor Lee got a hold of the infant, he held the baby in his arms and said a quick prayer, in which was a close up shot. It showed the emotion of love seeing him embrace the baby and the tears streaming down his face. That clip foreshadowed the many moments to come with Pastor Lee and his warm hearted presence. An angle shot was shown of the kids running and laughing with Lee to send out a happy feeling. Ivie included various interviews in the film of Pastor Lee and his team and their impact on the community and their kids. It shows viewers how a single step can turn into a movement and save many lives. This film did a phenomenal job of telling us that there is always hope out there, and that everyone deserves to be loved. I highly recommend this to people that love touching, motivating, and hope giving films. It makes you feel loved and that everything will all be alright. You can access this on Netflix and it may change your life.

If I watched this documentary for a fun or for artistic interesting, I wouldn't give an any point ..,I am not meaning it's not well made move but it's not like ones Hollywood factories have been printing every year If you are a matured person who have gone enough through many life events such as marriage, child birth or raising, deaths or lives of ones you love This is one must movie you shouldn't miss...The devotion of pastor Lee to saving other lives is tremendous moving and his fights against bias and idea generally accepted by society is a waking up call to me. It's like saying there no life deserves not to live ..every life matters. Hope every life his saved has a bright and blessed future .... Pastor Lee is a specimen of true Christian ...

This documentary will change how you view your life. This film tells the story of a humble, hardworking pastor living in South Korea. It is a documentary about how a fiercely tender man has made a remarkable, redemptive impact saving the lives of those Jesus called "the least of these" or unwanted babies. The Drop Box is truly a story about good new. It is a story about what the Gospel looks like in action. In Pastor Lee, we see a reflection of this. And in the broken and abandoned children that are saved and served, we see ourselves and in the process understand more fully our own redemption. A must-see documentary. You won't regret watching this.

The movie takes a very important issue and the director makes a Sundance Film Festival Movie Documentary.... it falls way short Limited show times mean jam packed theater goers crammed into tiny seats to view a foreign language documentary. 12.50 tickets for a movie you spend all your time reading what the people who are speaking .... you barley get to see what is being portrayed. Give me a translator or captioning but please not both Pastor Lee is doing wonderful work with the unwanted children but please this film team stinks. it looks more like a 60 Minutes piece than trying to bring awareness to the issue of women abandoning their children for cultural reasons.Why the exorbitant ticket price? does any of it go to Pastor Lee? this movie falls way short as a documentary or as a movie at all.... the issue of abandoning children is important but this didn't evoke an emotional response I thought it would....
